Twilight



Twilight is a vampire series, which is a combination of several series. The combination is so well done it has its own flare. It combines Interview with a Vampire, The Skulls, Once Bitten, Frankenstein, and probably a whole slew of others. The series has sparked a show.

It is about someone who loves a vampire. The vampire has the same feeling for her. But he does not want to make her immortal like he is. That is one major tragedy, right. It shows that vampire don’t like the sun however they only die in intense light and heat, this is logical, if you think about it. Another aspect which this shows is that all vampires do not want to be monsters. Some actually prefer living in non-violent ways with us.

The basic plot is two vampires that assimilate into society in secret as doctors and raise other younger vampire, people who were that they killed and turned into vampires when they were younger. It’s a brilliant concept. However some still fear them, however there are some in awe of them and want to live among them, this is how I think it compares with the X-Men Series. It combines most of the vampire legends, and brings some new ones out in the open.

It even reminds me of the Disney series Aladdin. Trust is a major issue in the move. That doesn’t get completely answered though, as there always has to be examples set before we will give our trust. This kind of situation really does exist. The answer however almost always differs.

Another thing that this series shows is that beauty always exists. We have extremely difficult time seeing it all the time.

Edward is the main vampire in the movie. He became one at the age of eighteen. He is a gorgeous guy with a personality to match. He falls for this girl, Bella, who is a doll. However Edward really loves Bella, and has the highest respect for her, so he doesn’t want to lose control in the heat of passion and kill her.
The movie shows that vampires all have different talent, more so then Interview with a Vampire. So there is a battle forming between the Doctors family and Edward, and three evil common vampires, who say they are worried about the Doctors family, enough to go to war. There is probably a little jealousy there which is the underlying motive and fear as well.

Edward then decides to leave Bella, but of course Bella follows because she’s in love and knows Edwards in love with her as well.
